4th Stage: Reporting to Allotted Colleges for Admission

Let us look into each of these stages in details.

KCET Counselling 2020: Registration & Document Verification

The first stage of KCET counselling process will be conducted in the online mode. Selected candidates will have to first get their documents verified. Upon successful verification of documents, the KEA authorities will provide the candidate with a verification slip, a unique User ID and Password.

Candidates must carry the following documents to the counselling centre for verification:

1. Copy of KCET application form
2. KCET admit card
3. Proof of payment of KCET application fees
4. Marks card of Class 10 board exams
5. Marks card of Class 12 board exams
6. Study Certificate countersigned by the concerned BEO/DDPI
7. 2-3 copies of your recent passport size photograph
8. Category certificate if applicable

KCET Counselling 2020: Choice Filling & Locking

In this stage, candidates will have to log in to their account using the User ID and Password given by the authorities at the time of Document Verification. They will be able to see the seat matrix, i.e. the branch-wise and category-wise availability of seats in various colleges. Candidates will have to fill up their choices and lock them before the last day.

Candidates shouldn’t fill up the choices randomly. Being aware of the KCET cutoff/closing rank of the previous year for a particular branch at a particular college can help in making the right decision.

KCET Counselling 2020: KCET Seat Allotment

First, KEA will conduct a round of mock seat allotment. This is done so that candidates get an idea about the counselling process. Candidates will be given the chance to modify their choices after the mock seat allotment is over. After that, the final allotment of seats will be conducted. This is based entirely on the rank of the candidates, their preferences, and the availability of seats. The authorities will give an allotment letter to the candidates.

KCET Counselling 2020: Reporting To The Allotted College

The last stage of the counselling process involves visiting the allotted college with all the necessary documents and the allotment letter. Candidates also need to pay the fee at the college to confirm the allotment and secure admission. Candidates must remember that they need to keep an eye on the KEA official website throughout the process to stay updated about any new developments.
